Dear Stars In His Crown,

Rejoice Bride. We are becoming One with Him. Daily, He is giving us more Revelation of Himself and Ourselves. We are becoming more conscious of that Quickening Power that is living and dwelling within us.

We can’t even begin to explain how we feel. We are consumed with His Spirit. It is our every thought. Nothing else matters to us. We see His Word becoming Word in us. It feeds our soul. We live daily to worship Him, praise Him, and thank Him that we can hear His Voice speak to us.

As we read our Church Age Book, we can’t hardly put it down; our hearts are exploding. Each day brings more Revelation. We want to jump up and shout, run around in the room and scream: “Glory, Hallelujah, Praise the Lord.” “Did you read this?” “I have it highlighted over my highlight, but I have never, NEVER, read It like that before.” He is revealing the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation to us, and I see OURSELVES IN HIS WORD.

We see that True Bride who stayed with the Word throughout the ages and was not deceived by Satan’s great deception. He wanted to be worshipped like God. But all the while there was that TRUE BRIDE, staying faithful to His Word. That little select group that stayed with His messenger. Just like us, they could not, and would not, compromise. They knew there was ONLY ONE WAY to be for sure: stay with His provided Way, His Word, His angel.

How deceiving Satan has been throughout time. He has worked his way through the different Church Ages until he has achieved his goals. He has now become so close to the PERFECT ONE that he could deceive the very elected if it were possible….but praise be to God, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE, WE ARE NOT DECEIVED. Why? WE STAYED WITH THE VOICE OF GOD, HIS WORD MADE FLESH.

There is no way around It. The Voice of God is His provided Way for today. We have kept doing His works faithfully until the end. We have been given power over nations, and are strong, capable, unbending rulers who can cope so powerfully with any situation. Even our most desperate enemy is broken. Our demonstration of rule, by His Power, is like unto the very Son’s.

Oh, how we wished we could express in words how we feel. One day we will my friends. We will spend Eternity with our Lord, His angel, and with each other.

Like the ol’ colored lady in Memphis, we knowed it was Him when we heard Him. Why? Oh, we’re ONE OF THEM.

Would you like for the Holy Spirit to talk to you and tell you who you are? Come experience the presence of the Lord with us this Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as we hear: The Thyatirean Church Age 60-1208. It will change your life.

Dear Children Of The Prophet,

We are the manifested Word, being energized by the Spirit, hearing the Voice of God, as He proclaims to us, we ARE HIS BRIDE.

Father has given His Church NINE gifts of the Spirit, and the FIVE-fold ministry, but Jesus said: In EVERY age I’ll address Myself to ONLY ONE person. Only ONE messenger for each age will receive what I have to say to that age. That ONE MESSENGER is the messenger to the true Church.

He speaks for God by revelation. The Message is then broadcast to all, but is only received by a certain qualified group in a certain way. Each individual of that group is one who has the ability to hear what the Spirit is saying by way of the messenger. Those who hear are not getting their own private revelation, nor is a group getting their collective revelation, BUT EACH PERSON IS HEARING AND RECEIVING WHAT THE MESSENGER HAS ALREADY RECEIVED FROM GOD.

How careful we must be to hear ONE Voice, for the Spirit has but one Voice which is the Voice of God.

There is ONE VOICE OF GOD and it doesn’t need to be proved like the NINE, nor filtered like the FIVE; JUST ONE PURE WORD VOICE!!

Can we listen to other ministers? Yes, but the key is to say ONLY what was spoken by the prophet. Others can, and should, exhort, teach and preach; but God has made a way today for us like NO OTHER DAY. We can hear exactly what God is saying to the Church.

He told us we have to be so careful. HE TOLD US, NOT ME, that they add here, or take away there, and soon the message is no longer pure. When listening to the tapes, It’s Word for Word, Thus Saith The Lord.

The proof of the indwelling Spirit was to acknowledge and FOLLOW what God’s prophet gave for his age as he set the church in order.

That is why we FOLLOW, and say, our pastor is the seventh angel messenger and we only want to hear what he has to say. To us, It is Hidden Manna.

The Revelation was poured out upon our angel messenger. The Revelation of the Word was given and addressed to HIM for our age. He has a little bigger Revelation of what Christ Is; a little higher calling, than all others. If we can’t live no higher than our pastor, then we want William Marrion Branham as our pastor.

We know others will not see what we see, and believe the things we believe, but they are still our brothers and sisters, and we will spend Eternity with them. But we must stay true to what we believe is the way God has shown us to worship and follow Him.

It’s so easy for others to say we place too much on the messenger, but in fact, we are just quoting him. You must take that up with the Lord. For it is the Voice of God saying these things.

Let’s open up our hearts and mind and read what the Spirit said to us through His angel:

Coming in the world soon, the great angel of Light that’ll come to us, that’ll lead us out, a great Holy Spirit, come in power, and will lead us to the Lord Jesus Christ. He probably won’t know it, but he’ll be here some of these days. He’ll make…God will make him known. He won’t have to make himself known, God will make him known. God will prove His Own. That’s what He said when Jesus was here and they didn’t know Him, see. He said, “If I do not the works of My Father, then don’t believe Me; but if I do the works of My Father, and you can’t believe Me, then believe the works.” Is that right?

Is he not calling himself the great angel of Light for this day? We know It is the Holy Spirit in him, but he said: He probably won’t know it, but he’ll be here some of these days. The Holy Spirit won’t know who He is? He won’t have to make himself known; God will make him known.

So he is saying, the prophet for our day is the great angel of Light that will lead us out and to Jesus Christ by way of the Holy Spirit through him. There is the Revelation for our day.

Who is going to introduce the Bride to the Lord? OUR PASTOR.

But this prophet will come, and as the forerunner to the first coming cried, “Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world,” even so will he no doubt cry out, “Behold the Lamb of God, coming in glory.” He will do this, for even as John was the messenger of truth to the elect, so is this one the last messenger to the elect and Word-born bride.

Knowing these truths, and having the FULL Revelation of Him in this day, we have become His Spirit-born, Spirit-filled Bride.

REJOICE BRIDE, THIS IS WHO WE ARE!

When a Spirit-born, Spirit-filled man in faith takes that Word into his heart and places it upon his lips, why that is the same as Deity speaking. Every mountain has to go. Satan cannot stand before that man.

Now true harmony exists between the Groom and us, His Bride. He has shown us His Word of life, and we have received It. We’ll never doubt it. Therefore, nothing can harm us, not even death.

REJOICE BRIDE, THIS IS WHO WE ARE!

The Word is in the bride (as it was in Mary). The Bride has the mind of Christ for she knows what He wants done with the Word. She performs the command of the Word in His name for she has “thus saith the Lord.” Then the Word is quickened by the Spirit and it comes to pass. Like a seed that is planted and watered, it comes to full harvest, serving its purpose.

We have come to full harvest and are now serving His purpose. We can only do His will. No one can make us do otherwise. We have “Thus Saith The Lord,” or we keep still. We know that it is God in us, doing the works, fulfilling His own Word.

We rejoice, for the prophet saw us beyond the curtain of time as we all raised our voices and screamed out in harmony, “We are resting upon that!”

Come gather with us Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as we hear the Voice Of God bring us the mystery of: The Pergamean Church Age 60-1207.

Bro. Joseph Branham

Dear True Believers,

We are like the children of Israel who came out of Egypt and stopped just short of the Promised Land. We’ve all journeyed together. We’ve all seen the same miracles of God; all partook of the same manna and water from the smitten Rock. We’ve all claimed that we follow the Pillar of Fire. But ONLY TWO reached the Promised Land then. Why? ONLY TWO WERE TRUE OR REAL BELIEVERS. What was the difference between then and now? The true believers stayed with the Word.

There is only one very special group of people who are able to hear what the Spirit says. One special group that receives the true Revelation. That group is of God. They hear what the Spirit is saying and have received It.

We are that special group who have the Spirit of God. We are the ones that are born of God. We are the ones baptized into the body of the Lord Jesus Christ by His Spirit.

The true evidence is HEARING what the Spirit says. The Spirit is talking. The Spirit is teaching. That is exactly what Jesus said He would do when He came. John 14:26, “He will teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

Jesus promised us He would be living in each of us. He would lead, guide and direct us as individuals. But 72 years ago today, God spoke through His mighty angel and declared to the world, “I am God’s Voice to you”. He told every living creature “I, the Holy Spirit, have a VOICE I will use to speak to you and reveal all My secrets”. He had never had the opportunity to have His Voice recorded so we could hear His Voice speak to us lip to ear.

By hearing His Voice on the tapes you will not have to wonder, hope, or even pray what you are hearing is the truth. ALL one has to do is Press Play, and they can hear God’s Voice declare to them, “Thus Saith The Lord”.

Do you need healing: Press Play. Need to get married: Press Play. Need to be buried: Press Play. Got a question on your heart: Press Play. You have something you’re going through and need counseling: Press Play. You have an important decision you need to make: Press Play. Don’t know what to do with your life: Press Play and listen to the Voice of God, the Holy Spirit, speak to you lip to ear.

The Holy Spirit is the prophet of the day. He told the world, this is the Voice I have predestinated to be My Voice to you. I will fill others with my Holy Spirit, and I have sent them to help you, but I have only One Voice that I declare to be MY VOICE. I have even taken my picture with him to prove to the world, Hear Ye Him.

Please don’t get me wrong. Yes, there are anointed Holy Ghost filled men of God whom He has called to help His children. I pray I am one of them. They too can give you counsel, comfort, and guide you along life’s journey. God has placed them here for a purpose. But the most IMPORTANT counsel, comfort and guidance you can receive is the Voice of God speaking to you by Pressing Play. Anything I tell you, or any other man, must first come from the Voice of God on the tapes.

There is nothing more important in your life, than to listen to the Voice of God speak to you. Ask yourself, is there anything in this world GREATER I could do, or is more important in my life, than to listen to God’s vindicated VOICE? Listening to Bro. Joseph, NO. Listening to any other man, NO. Nothing is GREATER THAN THAT VOICE.

If anyone has any Revelation and the Holy Spirit in their life they have to say AMEN. There is nothing greater in this world than Pressing Play.

How careful we must be in this end time to stay with that Word. From the words of the pope, who claims to be the very Vicar of God, to changing a single dot or dash of what has been spoken. In the Eyes of God, it’s ALL ANTI-WORD, ANTI-CHRIST.

We don’t want to be like the people in Samuel’s day.

When they approached Samuel and asked for a king. Samuel was so dismayed that his heart almost failed him. God had been leading His people through this consecrated, Scripture-vindicated prophet and he felt that he had been rejected...

We appreciate the miracles, wisdom, provision and protection of God. We believe in it. We like it. And furthermore we don’t want to be without it. It’s just that we want a king to lead us to battle...

“…WE WANT A KING WHO IS ONE OF US TO LEAD US.”

And God said to Samuel, “See, they have not rejected you, but they have rejected ME from ruling over them.”

On the contrary, we feel like Elisha when talking to Elijah. Elijah TOLD HIM PLAINLY, (today it would be what he said on tape,) you stay here while I go. Elisha would not, and could not do that, he had a REVELATION of the Word for his day.

Now, we see them as they journey on, come to the school. And he said, “You stay here now. Be here, and settle down and be a good teacher of theology, and so forth. And you probably, someday, may become the dean of the college here. But I’ve got to go on down a little farther.”

Could you imagine a man of God being satisfied to be a dean of a college, when the Power of God laid right around where he was standing? No, sir. He said, “As the Lord liveth and your soul liveth, I’ll not leave you.” I like that. Stay with it, no matter how much discourage, even it comes from your mother, your papa, or from your pastor. Stay with Him.

As the Lord liveth, I will stay with the Voice of God by Pressing Play, for It is Thus Saith The Lord to me.

Come join our flock, Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as we gather to hear His Voice speak to us and bring us the Revelation of: The Smyrnaean Church Age 60-1206.

Dear Pure Beaten Gold,

How thankful I am to be united with each of you, getting into the Spirit and listening to God speak to us, lip to ear. There is just no end to what He is revealing to us. Our hearts are filled with joy. Our souls are bubbling over. How can one comprehend what we are hearing?

Just listen to what the Lord Himself is saying to us: “You are My true Church, My Bride. To Me, you are likened to PURE gold. Your righteousness is My righteousness. Your attributes are MY own glorious attributes. Your very identity is found in Me. What I AM, you are reflecting. What I HAVE, you are manifesting.

To ME, there is no fault in you, you are glorious within and without. From the beginning to the ending, you are My work…and all MY works are perfect.

You will never be in the judgment, because sin cannot be imputed to you. Even before the foundation of the earth, My purpose was to share My Eternal Life with YOU.

How can one grasp these Words? How can our minds comprehend what is taking place? What is being revealed? Think of it, we don’t need to cry in our heart and say, “Oh, that might have been back there in the first age when the apostles were first sent out.” There is NO need for us to look back, because of Him, who never changes either in essence or in His ways, is in our midst NOW, speaking to us and telling us He is the same yesterday, today and forever. This is the GREATEST time in the history of the world to be living.

We are beaten and purged, filled up with the sufferings that Christ left behind. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. We are killed all the day long. We suffer much, but in it all, we retaliate not, neither do we cause others to suffer. To Him, we are pure beaten gold, not bowed, not broken, not destroyed, but formed as a thing of beauty and a joy forever by the trials and testings of this life.

He is now warning all others, “Get back to your First Love”. How careful they must be as you can’t change ONE WORD, not even a dot or a dash. That was the original trick of Satan in the Garden of Eden. Just a word added, just a Word taken away, then it is anti-Word.

In this last age he warns us there will be many false prophets appearing, telling the people that if they don’t believe them and what they say, you will be lost.

There is ONLY ONE WAY to be sure NOTHING has been added, nothing has been taken away, nothing has been changed… by listening to the pure VOICE OF GOD…PRESS PLAY.

Thank the Lord for the true, faithfully taught minister, that not only tells their sheep the importance of listening to the Message every day in their homes, but by being true leaders, placing This Message, This Voice, These Tapes, FIRST AND FOREMOST before the people in their churches.

By saying these things, I am misunderstood and accused of splitting churches and telling the people not to go to church. That is simply not true. The WORD is taking the people from these churches that are not placing the tapes FIRST in their churches. They are hungry to hear the Word from God’s Prophet. They feel IT is the most important Message and Voice they want to listen to. They feel It is God’s perfect Will to play the tapes in their church.

I have always told the people, “GO TO CHURCH”. When they ask: “Do you feel preachers can still preach?” “Yes.” I have never said or thought they shouldn’t. I simply tell the preachers, teachers, pastors, “Do what God called you to do, BUT PLEASE, place the very Voice of God on Tape FIRST, NOT YOUR MINISTRY”.

That is MY REVELATION. They must do as THEY FEEL LED TO DO. I have a right to preach and teach what I feel. If they want to say Brother Branham never said to Press Play in Church, the very Voice of God they claim they are following, that’s up to them.

The Holy Spirit is, and always has been, leading His Bride. We believe He is telling US, “PRESS PLAY, STAY WITH MY PROPHET, MY VOICE, MY HOLY SPIRIT.”

Well, we’ll have a showdown of it, then, like Elijah the prophet before this. And if you’re a child of God, you’ll stay with the prophet of this Bible. It’s the Word. Notice the hour, the season.

Who is the prophet of the Bible, The Word, the Holy Spirit!

The Holy Spirit is the Prophet of this hour; He vindicating His Word, proving It. The Holy Spirit was the Prophet of Moses’ hour. The Holy Spirit was the Prophet of Micaiah’s hour. The Holy Spirit, which wrote the Word, comes and confirms the Word.

The Holy Spirit of this hour is leading us by His prophet, as He has done in every age. God never changes His program.

Therefore, you are invited to come join us in what we feel is God’s Program by listening to the Holy Spirit speak through His prophet, and lead us as He brings us the Message: The Ephesian Church Age 60-1205, at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time.

Dear Lovers Of The Word Of God,

How wonderful it is to be able to address each of you as Lovers of the Word of God. There is nothing that can take Its place. To have the opportunity to listen every day of our lives to our Lord, speaking to us through human lips, and telling us who He is and who WE ARE. There is no place, no voice, no church, and no man that can tell you these things like the VOICE OF GOD.

He told us the inspiration of the Word was on the tapes. All we have to do is Press Play and the Holy Spirit fills the room. Our messenger was drawing life, and light, from the resources of that main bowl. He had his wick dipped therein.

His life is on fire with the Holy Ghost. His wick (life) has been immersed in Christ. Through that wick he is drawing the very life of Christ, and by it, gives out light to us, the Bride.

Then He tells us not only is His mighty messenger’s wick there, but we are all drawing from the same source. We have all been dipped into the same bowl. We are dead to ourselves and our lives are hid with Christ in God, sealed in by the Holy Ghost.

No man can pluck us out of His hand. Our lives cannot be tampered with. The visible life is burning and shining in us, giving light and manifestations of the Holy Ghost. Our inner, invisible life is hidden in God and fed by the Lord’s Word. We have the Revelation of Jesus Christ in our day.

How the Word feeds our soul. There is nothing like It. How He has provided a way that the Bride, from around the world, can gather together to hear the Voice of God at the same time. No matter what the critics or the skeptics say, God has made a way and it is a sweet smelling savor to Him. He just told us that He’ll get us all together at the end of the third day. Glory!!

Let us all come together this Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, to hear the Voice of God bring us the Revelation of the Word as we hear: The Patmos Vision 60-1204E.

First, we must GET INTO THE SPIRIT as we are going to hear;

The voice that sounded forth His Word in the Garden of Eden and upon Mount Sinai, which voice was also heard in the excellent glory of the Mount of Transfiguration, was once again sounding forth, and this time to the seven churches with a complete and final revelation of Jesus Christ.

Bro. Joseph Branham
